carolinamtne 4,281 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I just received acceptance for a story I sent to a magazine in Australia. (How do I make this big smile not so big???) Anyway, they are requiring "non-exclusive, ongoing print and digital rights" to my story, with the first right to publish. That makes sense to me. Does it to others? 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen some magazines reuse jokes and switching out the person's name. I don't know what all they might do with a story, but it sounds like magazines just do stuff like that, but I'm thinking with a story they just might reprint it down the road and that that's probably just typical magazine stuff? Either way, congrats! How exciting! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carolinamtne 4,281 Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 Thank you, Pen Name, Jennifer, and Josh. I really appreciate the support. Are there really 1112 other Jennifers out there online? 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carolinamtne 4,281 Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 Thanks, EClay. I appreciate the affirmation. And Josi, it wasn't my fault. Honest. The spell checker changed what I wrote. (Not that I can type that well anyway.) Thanks for your comment. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
